Which biscuits will the 4" blade cut mortises for? All but the ft?

This is taken from the 557 description:Two Blade Sizes for Standard and Face-Frame BiscuitsThe 557 offers a technologically advanced system accepting two blades both standard and face frame biscuits. The 4-inch blade is for standard-size cuts, while the optional 2-inch blade (#5559, sold separately) easily handles cuts as small as 1-1/2 inches.Additionally, a seven-position rotating depth stop works for standard #0, #10, #20 as well as Simplex, Duplex, and Max (#6) joinery. The standard 4 inch blade is for the numbers 0, 10, and 20 biscuts.

Get an after market blade, and you should have no problem with 4" oak. The blade that came with the saw was not the greatest. I picked up a new 1/4 inch & 1/2 inch for like $15 bucks... cutting is night and day compared to the stack blade.

I used it to dry cut pavers and termite block. Anything over 4 inches thick is pushing the limits of the blade.

I use a ceramic 7 for everything almost, depends on the length you want though, before buying read what the blade cuts on length.

1/2" Foam is the limit for this particular cutter. It has 1/8" marks where you tighten the blade to adjust.

Please note Pastor Dan's response. I would think you are only limited to what lengths are available for purchase. The Milwaukee blades are the only ones I've used, & I've been completely satisfied with them.

8" blade should get you darn close, just be sure to do it in small increments.

Regardless of the stroke and column extension your limiting factor will be the length of the bit and chisel.The 3/8 and 1/2 inch bit and chisels are the only ones long enough to go through a 4x4, barely. Great machine. Buy it anyway, it will do the majority of your mortising work.

This cutter has a 1/2" shank. These cutters work extremely well. I build Shaker chairs and use these to finish cut the tenons of stretchers and rails. They fit "exactly" into drilled mortises of the same size. Nice tools!

If you mean like a 25 pounder from Cabot, probably to make small wedges. I use it regularly on 2-pound blocks of Tillamook Cheddar. The blade is only about 4 or 4-1/2 inches long. But it is quite strong

It may not be the ideal saw for the mortise/tenon, but it should work fine if the mortise/tenon is not too deep. The saw is a bit smallish, and won't cut more than a couple of inches in depth. It is ideal for dovetails as the blade is very thin and sharp.

Type of saw doesn't matter it's universal. As far as size it accommodates up to a 30 inch blade.

Well mine measures 4 3/4 but yes you should be able to make 3 1/2 inch mortises with no trouble. I bought mine to make entrance and interior door extended tenon cuts.

The PM ones are nice. The 1/4-in bit from Wood River breaks routinely in hard maple, so buy two at a time. Other than that, it depends on how big your mortises are. The rule of thumb is 1/3 shoulder, 1/3 tenon, 1/3 shoulder, so 1/4" for 3/4" thick wood.I just used a PM 3/4" bit for a bed I'm making.

The blade is 4 inches, solidly made with good heft. Would definitely stand up to rough use. However for bush crafting my preference would be a multifunction blade with a hook and/or saw. A beautiful knife.

I don't have the 3.25 blade the 4 inch works fine for what I want. I have the chef's knife and I like that very much.
